If you’ve been part of the MooBaa massive for a while now, you’ll know that we are a little bit crazy in love with Bolton Abbey. It’s the most beautiful place simply for a stroll, to learn to skim stones, negotiate stepping stones or for a family adventure in the woods.

There’s so much to do there without any additional activities but when they lay them on, the people at Bolton Abbey always get it right. There’s icing and sprinkles on the cake next (wild!) Wednesday (29th August), children are invited to discover the nature and wildlife in Strid Wood and take part in the wild Wednesday trail to see if they can score the most points. Finish back at the Cavendish Pavilion to have a go at the senses activity. Free activity, normal admission applies and again children must be supervised by an adult. Collect a free trail activity sheet on arrival at Sandholme kiosk.

So that’s Wednesday sorted. How are you fixed for Fridays? If it’s a funday Friday you’re after then look no further than August 24th and 31st. From 11am -3pm, come along and enjoy a family day out and have fantastic fun playing with large outdoor games for FREE (normal admission applies) You can also learn how to make your very own kite, for just £2 or for those who have energy to burn off why not let them have fun on the bouncy castle for just £1 per go.
And if that’s not enough, until 24th August there’s still the fantastic sports trail to check out! Sporting scenes will be recreated along the Green Trail in Strid Wood (great for pushchairs) with some displays being interactive for the kids to have a go at! See if you can find all the different events as you weave your way through the wood to make it to the podium. Collect a free activity booklet on arrival.
If that doesn’t swing you for a visit we don’t know what will…stress-free parking? Great family-friendly food at the Cavendish Pavilion café? Fresh air and amazing scenery? It’s all there and it’s all on our doorstep. Introduce your kids to it and watch them fall a little bit in love with it too. x
